Pou's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Budget & Appropriations Excerpt: "Throughout her tenure in the legislator, Pou has committed herself to providing property tax relief for New Jersey families from all walks of life. In fact, during an unprecedented 2006 special session of the Legislature, Pou co-chaired one of four bicameral, bipartisan committees to address property taxes in New Jersey; sixteen of her committee's recommendations were enacted by the Legislature." Economy & Jobs Excerpt: "Senator Pou is committed to keeping existing businesses and jobs here in New Jersey, while simultaneously enticing new businesses and jobs to the state. When the current economic crisis unfolded in Fall 2008, Pou worked with the Legislature and Governor to help enact a statewide economic recovery plan-- the first in the nation to do so, even before the federal government began its own recovery efforts." Education Excerpt: "Presently, New Jersey allows students to drop out at age 16, essentially hindering these individuals' ability to become productive members of society. By advocating that children be forced to attend school until they are at least 18 years old, Senator Pou is working to ensure more students complete their education and graduate high school, putting them on secure educational footing and facilitating the very best possibility for their future success." Environment Excerpt: "The Senator is particularly committed to improving and expanding urban environmental health and sustainability. In 2004, Senator Pou sponsored legislation to dedicate park and open space development funding to densely populated communities, where access to open and "green" space often is limited." Education Excerpt: "Senator Pou has also been a consummate supporter of the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF), which provides financial assistance to students who are capable and motivated to further their educations, but lack the necessary resources to do so. The Senator often credits the EOF as having been an instrumental support in her own life."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Jersey

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
